When it won't scan the VIN try manually enter or use a saved scan to start.
Also some contact cleaner can help or the problem can be a damaged OBD port.

I was actual on battery tender.
It is not that it wont' scan the VIN, just that it takes at least 2 mins (although I didn't precisely time it) for that part of the start up. It does reads the VIN correctly.
The generic scannere works no problem, so it shouldn't be OBD port problem.
I will need to take it up with Foxwell on this problem. The last time I used the scanner about two years ago, it gave a bunch of error codes related heater, AC, and something else. Although the heater and AC were all working fine. I wonder if the scanner may have already been going bad.
